Whenever we think of Christ, we should recall the love that led Him to bestow on us so many graces and favors, and also the great love God showed in giving us in Christ a pledge of His love for love calls for love in return. Let us strive to keep this always before our eyes and to rouse ourselves to love Him.
Teresa of Avila
Image
The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects are those that are followed up by actions-when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Out of suffering comes the serious mind out of salvation, the grateful heart out of endurance, fortitude out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I only wish I could write with both hands, so as not to forget one thing while I am saying another.
Teresa of Avila
Image
There was the torture of sermons, and that not a slight one, for I was very fond of them.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Teresa of Avila

Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.
